Editorial Board Review (Before the Review Process)

In the evaluation process, priority is given to the scientific adequacy and novelty of the study, its theoretical contribution, its adequacy in reflecting the relevant studies (local and universal) in the field, the proficiency of language use, and its compliance with spelling rules. In research-examination studies, attention is paid to the suitability of the research design based on the study, the suitability of the analysis methods, the accuracy of the research findings, and the appropriateness of the discussion section.

Submitted articles are pre-examined by the journal editors and editorial board in terms of compliance with the purpose of the journal, journal writing rules, and general ethical principles. 

Double-Blind Review

This journal operates a double-blind review process. All contributions will be initially assessed by the editorial board for suitability for the journal. Papers deemed suitable are then sent to a minimum of two independent reviewers to assess the scientific quality of the paper. The Editorial Board is responsible for the final decision regarding the acceptance or rejection of articles. The Editor's decision is final.

1- The editorial board decides whether an article should be published or not, taking into account the opinions of the reviewers. The editorial board has the right to reject articles at any stage. If the reviewers request a revision, they are sent to the author (s) on the condition that the amendments are made.

2- The views and opinions in the published study are the personal opinions of the author (s) and do not reflect the official views of the journal.

3- Manuscripts that are not written according to the article template of Qualitative Social Sciences can not be considered for publication.
